Complete 'D' shaped scraper knapped from grey black flint and dating from the late Neolithic period 2500-2100BC, possibly a Riley Type 5 (Bond, C. Plate 5.112 and 5.113). The scraper is complete, made from a short, round flake with retouch along the total distal and halfway up the two mesial edges. Both the ventral and dorsal faces are very smooth with even ripple marks. Scrapers could have many uses from scraping the fat off animal skins, to scraping the bark off arrow shafts. The length is 42mm, width 34mm, thickness 6mm and the weight is 14.21g.

Worked Pennines chert scraper possibly Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic 6500-2900 BC. The chert is grey in colour with cortex. There are known sources of chert in the South Pennines and this may well be naturally occurring around Boulsworth Hill and Thursden. The length is 26mm, width 18mm, thickness 3mm and the weight is 3.43.

A black chert scraper. Late mesolithic to early neolithic in date. The chert is the typical chert used for lithic tool production in the Marles Wood area. It has a 'warty' texture as opposed to the smoother, more glassy texture of the best quality Boulsworth chert. Length 32mm, width 25mm, depth 6mm, weighs 6.45g. A number of chert lithic items, & a few flint ones, have also been found in the vicinity. John Hallam directed a dig in the area some time ago. There is an account of the excavation in David Barrowclough's book "Prehistoric Lancashire".

Early to mid Neolithic side scraper on a tertiary flake of grey chert. On one mesal two notches have been removed from near the distal end then the whole ventral edge has received short, parallel to sub-parallel, semi-abrupt retouch The resultant edge probably served three purposes, as a serrated blade, a notched scraper, and as a side scraper if the proximal end was favoured. The other mesal is 7.5mm thick. On its dorsal edge it has short, abrupt, sub-parallel retouch to the whole edge. The ventral edge has a series of scaled semi-invasive removals overlaid with short, abrupt, sub-pa…

Early to mid Neolithic side scraper on a secondary flake of dark grey chert. Short, parallel to sub-parallel, semi-abrupt retouch to both mesals. The distal end has been shaped with an invasive intial removal terminating in a hinged fracture. It has then had very short sub-parallel, semi-abrupt retouch. There has been a reduction to the dorsal ridge. Cortex retained at proximal end, probably to aid grip. Dates to between c4000 and c2700 BC. Length 24mm, width 15mm, thickness 7mm, mass 2.86g

Late Neolithic to early Bronze Age flint D shaped 'thumbnail' scraper. The scraper is sub square in plan and fabricated on a tertiary flake of pale grey flint with white inclusions, There is no noticeable patination.There are three principle phases of working. In the first it has been roughed out with a series of invasive removals to the dorsal. The second phase consisted of shaping the distal edge with a series of scaled semi abrupt removals. Looking down on the dorsal from the proximal end, the third phase consists of three areas of retouch. The left mesal has minute (all less then …
